Don't Be Afraid of the Dark

N: Never a big fan of Katie Holmes, but she fared in this movie. But the point is that paraphrase you should be afraid, that is of the dark. For in the trenches underground beneath a mansion with hidden and dark secretes; what I would call creatures stalk the family searching with a deadly passion to steal the soul. Uncover the truth.....

D: You see, most people are under the impression that fairy-tales are sweet and for children. This movie proves that's not the case.
A little girl named Sally, is sent to live with her father and his girlfriend in the Blackwood manor that they are fixing up to sell. She is soon thrust into a fairy tale nightmare as she is stalked by little creatures who wish to take her and make her one of them.
First, I love this director. He has some awesome movies out. Also, this is how most fairy tales are. Brothers Grimm, they had some of the darkest, bloodiest stories that were actually told to children. And this movie is awesome. The little girl is more human than the adults, more of a real character really. The creatures small and scary. The adults, clueless as to the terror that they are surrounded by. I highly recommend this movie. It will make you think twice about the beloved tales you heard as a child.
